Deductions & credits

The stimulus check is an advance on a credit you can receive on your 2020 tax return.  If something went wrong or you did not get the stimulus check in 2020, you can get it when you file your 2020 return in early 2021

Was your child under the age of 17 at the end of 2020?  You cannot get child tax credit or stimulus for a child who was over the age of 16 at the end of 2020.

 


The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the Federal Review section,  If you are eligible it will end up on line 30 of your 2020 Form 1040.
